I have been intending on searching for this site that is in my own back yard for quite some time. :P After being stuck in the house with a cold over the weekend I decided to work on this one. Mapped and re-mapped.....new map, old map....Google Earth and old map overlay. It's an old wagon trail with a few old homesteads noted on the 1892 map. I finally got out there this afternoon. DiggerBug was on her way out and I flagged her down to see the buckle I had just found. Figured it would speed up her errands and she would get back in time to dig a few holes! :D (It worked!) :D Found lots of neat stuff including the back to a button....well...guess it's the back to a button. The shank is broken and it reads rich gold and then something else on the bottom that I can't read yet. Also there is this tool looking thingy..has what looks like a little wrench on one end and then on the other end it looks like a big needle. ??? The buckle is my favorite find of the day...I think it's the best one I have found so far. I didn't take a picture of the pasture today, but here's one from last fall.

Nana :)

The Whatsit thingy kinda looks like a foot brake or lever off of an old piece of farm equipment. Not sure though. I have seen something that looks similar. Thats my guess anyway.
